Personas in Thunderbird

There does not seem to be an easy way to set your Thunderbird to use a persona, so until we make it more discoverable in the UI, here's a snippet you can copy and paste in your error console (Tools > Error Console) to make your Thunderbird use a nice Persona! Just copy the line below in Tools > Error Console, and hit Enter. This will open a new tab allowing you to navigate getpersonas.com.
top.opener.document.getElementById("tabmail").openTab("contentTab", { contentPage: "https://www.getpersonas.com" });

It's probably easier to just install the official "Personas Plus" add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/th...
It works fine (from what I can tell) despite not being marked as compatible.
...or use the "Get Addons" tab in TB 5's new Addon Manager to browse AMO for personas. (I think it opens AMO in a separate web tab)
I know, but to find it out, you have to do:
- Get Add-Ons
- See all themes and personas
- Be confused because you're in the themes section
- Click "Add-Ons for thunderbird" near the top
- Click "Personas" near the top.
This is completely non-discoverable, and even I couldn't find it!
Interesting topic, but your blog page design makes it hard to read.
I was reading via an RSS feed with Thunderbird. When I first saw the message I could only read the first line, with parts of the second line visible behind the bottom image. I hit space, and the text at the top of the screen was "Error Console, and hit Enter". I had to fiddle with scroll bars to read the sentences in the middle.
I've changed the theme to a hopefully more readable one.
